1 PE NUMBER: 6464F PE TITLE: Submunitions Exhibit R-2, RDT&E Budget Item Justification February 28 5 System Development and Demonstration (SDD) 6464F Submunitions ($ in Millions) Actual FY FY FY FY to Total Total Program Element (PE) Joint Smart Munitions Test and The FY3 National Defense Authorization Act language directed Test & (T&E) centers to charge only direct costs beginning in FY6. This resulted in a zero balance transfer (ZBT) of funding over the FYDP from the customer accounts (for indirect test costs) to T&E support, PE 6587F. For this PE, the T&E funding alignment begins in FY8, resulting in the funding difference between FY7 and the following years. A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification (aka Project Chicken Little) is a joint program that provides best value research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) support for developmental smart munitions and related emerging weapons technologies employed against a wide variety of vehicle targets, Theater Air Defense units, and other foreign ground-based systems. Combat related systems exhibit certain vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to incapacitation or destruction. In addition, all systems exhibit particular physical characteristics (called signatures) that smart weapons exploit to recognize and target these systems. Chicken Little collects the physical and functional attributes of actual foreign threat systems for construction of high-fidelity models used for vulnerability assessments (the evaluation of the effectiveness of a munitions against these system vulnerabilities). Chicken Little then collects these foreign targets' signatures in realistic environments with a variety of sensors and in the presence of countermeasures or camouflage. The resulting highly reliable, realistic performance data are used to support development of smart munitions by defining lethality and sensor requirements and supporting acquisition decision points. The project provides a major focal point for joint Air Force and other Services' target signature collection and dissemination for development and exploitation purposes. Customers include the major Defense and Service Intelligence Centers, all the Services, the Joint Technical Coordinating Group (JTCG) who develop the Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals, the Combatant Commands, US Air Force Weapons School curriculum support, and others. Current projects include target signature exploitation, target geometric modeling (for identifying vulnerabilities), improving air capabilities against protected structures (specifically hard and deeply buried targets), and testing of a variety of seekers and sensors against realistic targets in various environments. Further projects include: Tools for Target Modeling; Analytical Method for Predicting Component Failure; Conversion of JTCG Targets to Support Signature Modeling; Electromagnetic Pulse Characterization and Effectiveness; directed energy applications; and others. This program is funded in BA5 - System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it supports development programs prior to full rate production decision. Page-1 of Exhibit R-2 (PE 6464F)
